False Claims Act Litigation
Fraud against the government is a serious and widespread problem. The False Claims Act (FCA) was enacted to encourage citizens to come forward with information and help the U.S. government to combat defense contract fraud, health care fraud, and other types of fraud. Under this federal law, concerned citizens can file actions against individuals or companies who have committed fraud against the government and may be awarded a portion of the money the government recovers as a result of a successful False Claims Act violation lawsuit, also referred to as a qui tam action.
False Claims Act cases frequently involve the failure of a defense contractor to comply with specific terms of a military contract or involve improper charges by a health care company to Medicare or Medicaid. When an FCA or qui tam lawsuit is filed it is initially filed under seal so the public cannot have access to it. This protects the identity of the "whistleblower," also referred to as a "realtor." The FCA also provides protection against employer retaliation.
